extension of term

Last Friday the High Court of Australia granted Alphapharm special leave to appeal from a decision of the Full Federal Court in Aspen Pharma Pty Ltd v H Lundbeck A/S FCAFC 129. The Full Court’s decision affirmed an earlier decision of the Administrative Appeals Tribunal to grant Lundbeck an extension of time in which to make an application to extend the term of its patent for (+)-citalopram.
